Continuing his immense form, Dhruv Jurel has notched up another fifty for Uttar Pradesh. With three sixes, he has looked in his element, while Aryan Juyal has also supported him and is nearing his own fifty. Both Jurel and Juyal have been the linchpins for UP this season. 

UP: 107/1 (18.0 Ov) with a target of 270. 

With his latest century, Ruturaj Gaikwad has become the player with the joint-most centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy history. He has joined his teammate Ankit Bawne with 15 tons, his second this season against Goa. 

Maharashtra captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has smashed his second century of the ongoing tournament and this was perhaps one of his best of all time. Maharashtra were 25/5 and soon went 52/6. Gaikwad, however, kept piling on runs against Goa. Vicky Ostwal did his job and added 106 runs for the 7th wicket before Gaikwad completed his century. The Maharashtra captain remained unbeaten at 134* off 131 balls and struck 8 boundaries and 6 sixes in total.

Madhya Pradesh are doing an incredible job after bowling first. They have reduced Karnataka's star-studded batting lineup to just 188/8. Shivang Kumar has taken a fifer! Incredible scenes here in Ahmedabad.

And here comes another List-A fifty for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Maharashtra were in all kinds of trouble, losing 6 wickets for 52. Immense pressure but Gaikwad stuck in and hammered his third fifty of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, one of which ended up in a century. Vicky Ostwal is doing his bit by building a partnership with the captain. 

Maharashtra: 104/6 (33.0 Ov)

From 25/3 to 65/4 to now 151/6, Mumbai have consistently drawn blows to Punjab. In between, Anmolpreet Singh did well for his 57, while Ramandeep Singh is toiling at 56*. Harpreet brar is the new batter in Mumbai and continues to take wickets. 

Punjab: 158/6 (32.1 Ov)

It is Hardik Pandya time in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) as he plays (possibly) his last game of the tournament for Baroda before joining Team India for the New Zealand T20Is. 

In his usual way, Pandya starts his innings with alpomb, hititng three sixes in the first over he faced. Currently on 22 off 10, Baroda are 151/4, losing Krunal Pandya for 20. Vishnu Solanki made 54 earlier on against Chandigarh. 

In the Karnataka vs Madhya Pradesh game, the Mayank Agarwal-led side have lost Devdutt Padikkal and Karun Nair. A rare failure for Padikkal as he goes out without a fifty for just the second time in these 7 group games. He was chopped on off Tripuresh's bowling. Soon, Nair also got dismissed after a quick run-out. SRH youngster Smaran Ravichandran is the new batter in. No KL Rahul today.

KAR: 99/2 after 18 overs.  

It seems it is wickets galore today as Delhi remove four Haryana batters within first 7 overs. Ishant Sharma, who has bowled well throughout the tournament, has struck three mighty blows and has superb figures of 3 for 7 after his first 5 overs. Insane stuff. Navdeep Saini has taken the other wicket. 

Haryana: 46/4 (11.1 Ov)

Ruturaj Gaikwad's Maharashtra have been blown away by Goa on Thursday morning, as they lost 4 wickets now for just 16 runs. Prithvi Shaw was undone by Arjun Tendulkar, while Vasuki Koushik takes 3. Thankfully for Maharashtra, Gaikwad is still hanging around in Jaipur. 

MAH: 25/4 (12.2 Ov)

With no Shubman Gill today, Punjab have struggled big time against Mumbai. Captain Abhishek Sharma faltered and got out for just 8 runs, while Prabhsimran Singh and Harnoor Singh made 11 and 0, respectively. Onkar Tarmale (2) and Sairaj Patil (1) with the wickets as Mumbai reduced Punjab to 25/3 in 4.1 overs.

Now, Naman Dhir and Anmolpreet Singh stabilise the innings for the Punjab. Fifty comes up for Punjab. 

PUN: 51/3 (8.4 Ov)
